The Ski Jumpers
by Peter Geye
A brilliant ski jumper has to be fearless—Jon Bargaard remembers this well. In a bravura performance, Peter Geye follows Jon deep into the past he tried so hard to leave behind as he tells his family’s story to his beloved wife Ingrid, circling ever closer to the truth about past events and his own part in them.
As thrilling as those soaring flights, as precarious as the Bargaard Family’s complicated love, as tender as Jon’s backward gaze while disease takes him inexorably forward, Geye’s gorgeous prose brings Jon and his brother to the ultimate choice: each other, or the secrets they’ve held so tightly for so long.
